Hello Folks -
Been a long time, but surgeries and the covid have slowed down any collecting. Posted this in the photo section, but no takers.
Anyhow, I picked up this picture frame. Had in it a WW1 Soldier's photo. I don't see it as WW1 Period, but am not sure of when it may be from. Opening size for photo is 2'1/4" x 3-1/2+"s.
It has it all!! From the bottom up, cannon balls, star, wreath, cannons, shields, drums, bugles, muskets, pikes, flagging engraved "UNION" and "LIBERTY", swords, Dragoon Helmets, flags and of course the American Eagle (right facing?) with arrows and olive branches. The two flags on the top have 'definite' six rows of with five stars in each. Which may be just what the mold maker could do.
May be reading a lot into it, but the 'musket' has the look of a Hall Rifle, check out the right side.
The back has some strange pointy hooks, which I couldn't figure out, but now think they are for wire to hang with.
Well, anyhow..., enjoy. I had fun just finding all the items on it. Definitely a lot to prep for casting.
A bit off topic, but any thoughts appreciated!
Thanks for looking and Best Regards!
